Part A (Q2): Highlight various needs of Children.

Children are vulnerable and require a specific set of needs to be met by adults to ensure their holistic development. These needs can be broadly categorized as:

1. Physical Needs: The most basic survival requirements, including adequate nutrition, safe housing, clean water, warm clothing, and access to healthcare and immunizations.
2. Emotional and Psychological Needs: Children need unconditional love, affection, and a sense of belonging. They need a stable, secure attachment to a caregiver to develop self-esteem and emotional regulation.
3. Cognitive/Educational Needs: Children have an innate curiosity. They need access to quality education, cognitive stimulation, play, and opportunities to learn and explore their environment.
4. Social Needs: The need to interact with peers, learn social norms, develop empathy, and feel integrated into a community.
5. Protection Needs: The absolute right to be protected from all forms of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, exploitation, child labor, and neglect.
